I'm sleeping now but perhaps you'll take a look at the tree and send me
a patch so that configure can see AX_ENABLE_BUILDDIR, which it isn't
right now on a clean build:
checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
checking target system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
./configure: line 1966: syntax error near unexpected token `build'
./configure: line 1966: `AX_ENABLE_BUILDDIR(build)'
Apologies that I didn't check this bit properly before committing - I'll
clean it up in the morning either way :)
how did you run autotools ? if you ran like `aclocal` manually rather than
`autoreconf`, then you'd see this error.

I did wonder how the bootstrap process works; I didn't find it in the
autotools docs. So it's more complicated than the "full" command
sequence in the README. HACKING has the same sequence as well, which
won't work anymore.
I take Jon's point, it's dangerous to treat autotools as
incomprehensible magic. So I think we should keep the full command
sequence documented, but change it to use "aclocal -I m4".
